Landscaping and patios · Cheltenham
Cheltenham garden builds, finally somewhere to see them
Patios, paving, turf and full garden transformations across Cheltenham, priced in writing before anything is dug.
What we do
The difference is under the slabs
Anyone can lay stone. What decides how it looks in five years is what got dug, compacted and drained underneath it first.
Patios and paving
Dug out, based and bedded properly, which is the difference between flat in five years and not.
Full garden transformations
From a space you avoid to one you use, handled by one team.

What is under a patio that stays flat
Two patios can look identical on handover day. Five years later, one has sunk and one has not. The difference was never the slabs.
The dig-out
Topsoil and soft ground come out first. Laying onto soft ground is why cheap patios sink in patches.
100 to 150mm of compacted stone
MOT Type 1, compacted in layers. This is the foundation, and it is the corner most often cut because you cannot see it in photos.
A full mortar bed
Each slab bedded on solid mortar, not dabs. Slabs on dabs rock loose and crack at the corners.
The fall
A slope of a few millimetres per metre, away from the house, decided before the first slab. It is why rain never pools by your wall.
What customers say
4.9 stars, in their words
“Brad and his team did over 50 square metres of patio for us that wrapped around the house.”
“He worked like a demon during the heatwave and tore up the old concrete and replaced with new ceramic tiles to match, and line up with, the indoor kitchen floor tiles.”
How it works

You always know what happens next, and what it costs, before it happens.
